Following surgical correction of an uncomplicated displacement success rates can reach 95%. Abomasomal volvulus and the presence of an abomasal ulcer are associated with a much poorer prognosis. Additionally tachycardia, decreased temperature, black faeces and a long period of illness are all associated with poorer outcomes.

Following surgical correction of an uncomplicated displacement, short term survival rates can reach 95%. Abomasomal volvulus and the presence of an abomasal ulcer are associated with a much poorer prognosis. Additionally tachycardia, decreased temperature, black faeces and a long period of illness are all associated with poorer outcomes.

 

However, long-term survival rate for cows after correction of a left displaced abomasum are poorer, with 79% and 73% of cows treated by either a blind toggle procedure or a paramedian abomasopexy remaining in the herd after 2 months, although the difference between the methods of correction was not significant in this study.
